Picture depicts a 2007 Hyundai Sonata roofrack and ski rack setup using the Yakima Q Tower roof rack system (with Yakima Q5 clips and Q99 clips) and the Yakima Buttondown ski-snowboard rack.
A superb example of how to carry your skis safely, securely and stylishly. This customer install picture highlights a 2007 Hyundai Sonata car rack and ski-snowboard rack system. The base rack system components used include the Yakima Q Tower roof rack (using the Yakima Q5 clips and Yakima Q99 clips plus the 58 inch crossbars, necessary for the 2007 Hyundai Sonata roof top). The Yakima Buttondown ski-snowboard rack is then mounted directly to the cross bars. Also a six pack of yakima locks with keys is also used to lock the skis to the ski rack and the Q Towers to the Hyundai Sonata roof top.

Q: I want to carry skis, but I cannot find the roof rack for my car. My car is a business style car which doesn’t have a fixed rack on roof. So, It looks a little bit difficult to implement the roof rack without the rack. Could you recommend one for my style vehicle?
Thank you very much in advance
Q for you: What kind of car are driving?
A: 2009 Ford Fusion
Solution: Your vehicle has what we call a naked roof, and you need a multipurpose base rack system that will provide you with the crossbars you need to mount your ski rack, or any other attachment for that matter. I would suggest a Yakima Q-Tower System for your base rack and the Yakima Fat Cat 6 for your ski rack. To lock everything down, make sure you get yourself a Yakima SKS 6 lock pack, which will protect your base rack, your ski rack, and of course your skis from theft, and all with one key.

Q: I am looking at installing a 2008 Lexus IS 250 roof rack for carrying snowboards. The 2008 Lexus IS250 roof top currently has no raingutters, side rails or faactory rack, just a smooth roof top. What car rack do you recommend that I can then attach a snowboard carrier to?
A: The complete Thule 400XT Aero roof rack system is engineered to fit your vehicle perfectly and is very quick to install. The Thule 400XT Aero system includes four 400XT Aero feet, four 2176 Fit Kit Clips (these Fit Kit Clips are specific to your 2008 Lexus IS 250) and two load bars (the 50″ load bars are the recommended length for your vehicle). You can then attach any Thule snowboard carriers to the 400XT Aero front and rear load bars.

A great image demonstrating a customer installation of a 1999 Range Rover basket roof rack system with the spare tire holder accessory included and also a ski rack.
Man this is a fantastic customer installation featuring a 1999 Land Rover Range Rover roof rack system with a cargo luggage basket mounted and accessories connected to the basket including a spare tire holder and ski-snowboard carrier. Specifically the Yakima Q Tower roofrack system (using 2 pairs of Yakima Q clips) is attached to the Range Rover pockets on the rooftop trim strip. The Yakima MegaWarrior roof basket with the Yakima MegaWarrior extension is connected tothe Q Tower crossbars. And because the Mega Warrior basket includes integrated crossbars, the Yakima FatCat 6 ski-snowboard rack is able to connect to the basket. The Yakima Spare Tire Holder basket accessory is used to carry the spare tire.
